report from the chair
report from the president and CEO
As I look back on my first year as Chair of the Board of Governors,
I am thrilled with what we have achieved. We have not only made
great strides in improving our facilities, but we have shown our
dedication to spreading an enthusiasm for science and technology
to communities across our province.
Science World has had another successful year in 2007/2008. We’ve
provided engaging experiences for thousands of British Columbians
and made great progress to ensure the organization thrives for decades
into the future.
This year, we continued to expand on our commitment to the longterm health and sustainability of Science World. As a Board, we have a
responsibility to the community to ensure that Science World continues
to thrive for decades to come. A key requirement for future effectiveness
is the major restoration of the TELUS World of Science facility and I am
happy to report that, after many months of effort and discussion, the
provincial government has agreed to provide substantial financial support
for the facility restoration and Outdoor Science Park.
We also expanded our services to meet the needs of our growing
audience across the province. Our Outreach program reflected our
emphasis on serving the entire community as we took our unique brand
of science to schools and communities throughout BC. Through BC PALS,
we have continued to expand the accessibility of Science World activities
to Kindergarten – Grade 7 students in all areas of the province.
This year, we also welcomed more adults into our world. After the
tremendous success of BodyWorldss in 2006, we have increased our efforts
to reach an expanded audience. During this year’s Science World After
Darkk evenings, adults turned up in droves to explore TELUS World of
Science and enjoy our engaging experiences during periods reserved
just
ust for them. We will be offering more opportunities for adults to enjoy
Science World interactions in the year ahead.
I would like to thank the Board, Science World staff, and our
extensive array of volunteers who made this all possible.
2007/2008 was an outstanding year
and I look forward to another
great one ahead.
Paul Geyer
Chair, Board of Governors
Science World continues to receive tremendous public support from
across the province. Schools and families of the Lower Mainland visit
TELUS World of Science and the residents of Vancouver Island, the
Okanagan, the Northern Interior and the rest British Columbia participate
in our Outreach programs. We had 511,360 visitors to TELUS World
of Science and another 187,848 Outreach participants accessing our
resources in their communities. For this support, we are most appreciative.
We began the year with a celebration of Purdy’s 100th Anniversary at
the special The Story of Chocolate exhibition. In March, we launched the
new BodyWorks gallery, the latest project in our ReGeneration program.
During the summer, visitors were enthralled by a repeat presentation of
the Grossology exhibition. In the Outreach program, Super Science Club,
the after-school program at inner-city schools, grew to 10 locations.
Through Outreach, we also hosted eight Community Science Celebrations
across the province.
Science World faces a major challenge in the essential renovations
required for our landmark Fals
False Creek facility. This past year,
we made significant progress
in addressing some of the most
progr
desperate conditions (no more leaky roofs!) and in obtaining
commitments for major financial support. This will continue
to be a primary focus in the coming year—it is crucial that
the building is restored to ensure Science World provides
engaging experiences for years to come.
Science World’s suc
success is based upon the commitment
of the communi
community to our mission of contributing
to the future p
prosperity of British Columbia through
the appreciation
appreciatio and involvement of science and
technology. Thanks
to all who support our efforts!

Grossology: The (Impolite) Science
of the Human Body
Stinky body odour, crusty eye gunk, slimy nose phlegm—
Grossology dove into all of them with abandon. In this
popular exhibition, grossly disgusting bodily functions
blew, belched, and tooted their way into the captivated
minds of visitors all summer long.
Based on the best-selling book Grossology by Sylvia Branzei,
the exhibition told visitors the juicy, noisy, gassy truth about
why our bodies do the unmentionable, impolite things
that they do. With imaginative features and animatronics
like Tour du Nose, Gas Attack!, Urine: The Game and Burp
Machine, nothing was too gross to be taboo.
The Story of Chocolate:
Brought to You in Celebration
of Purdy’s 100th Anniversary
A luscious treat. A symbol of wealth and luxury. An economic livelihood.
Humans have long been spellbound with the mouth-watering phenomenon that we call ‘chocolate’. In this tasty, rich gallery experience, visitors
explored the plant, the products and the culture of chocolate through
the lenses of science, history and popular culture. In-depth, text-focused
exhibits were mixed with video screens, a life-sized cacao tree replica,
hands-on interactive exhibits and free Purdy’s samples each weekend.
Seedy Science
There’s more to seeds than meets the eye. This traveling exhibition from
the Royal Ontario Museum explored the complex biology of the small
beads of life and featured seedy stories of travel, chemistry, medicine,
and industry.
Presented in both English and French, the exhibition was divided into
six topics: Beans, Seed Signals, Seeds from Food Plants, Seeds With
Commercial Uses, Poisonous Seeds Among Us, and On the High Seas.

BodyWorks
OMNIMAX
Is my face symmetrical? What will I look like in 30 years?
Where did I come from? These are just a few of the
questions that the second phase of our always-popular
BodyWorks gallery explored this year. The gallery allowed
visitors to get a peek into what our bodies look like with
powerful, interactive stations where they could stretch a
rope out to see how long intestines are, capture their face
on camera and watch themselves age and use their powers
of observation to try to read facial expressions correctly.

Science World
After Dark
TELUS World of Science isn’t just for little kids — big kids
want to come out and play too! That’s the idea behind
Science World After Dark, our adult-only evenings of
exploring, creating and discovering like children again.
This year we proudly offered several nights of adult-sized
science fun featuring special presentations and guest
speakers. In addition to regular Science World After Dark
nights in September, October, November and January,
we hosted several theme nights including Sweet Flicks, Like
Wine for Chocolate, Deadly Deduction: A Night of Killer Fun!,
The Beauty and Bounty of BC, Ball of Laughter: The Comedy
of Science and How to Play!.
Teacher Orientation Evenings
This year, over 533 BC teachers, pre-service teachers and activity/program
coordinators came to our Teacher Orientation Evenings, held October
4th, 2007 and February 7th, 2008. The evenings were a great chance
for us to let educators know what we’ve got going on and how they can
get the most out of their field trips to TELUS World of Science.
After a half-hour long presentation highlighting our current offerings,
participants were set free to explore our exhibits for themselves before
meeting back at the OMNIMAX Theatre for our big-screen movie.
As always, our Education, Outreach and Sales staff were on hand to
meet the guests and make sure that no questions went unanswered.
Crazy Carnivale!
Wow! Crazy Carnivale!, Science World’s first
family fundraiser, was a site to behold with
a red carpet leading to a circus-style world
of fun. Guests enjoyed family photos, live
entertainment, circus performers, midway
games, prizes, super science demo, buskers…
and the chance to be the first visitors to our
summer presentation of Grossology!
Our dedicated volunteers, led by Nicole Geyer,
created the phenomenal event that attracted
500 people and raised over $25,000 for
the essential renovations and expansion
of Search: The Sara Stern Gallery.
Crazy Carnivale! was presented by
BC Transmission Corporation and
supported by BC Hydro.

outreach programs
To effectively build communities that understand, value
and celebrate the contribution of science and technology
to our quality of life, Science World provides opportunities
for children, teachers and families to be turned on to
science at school, home, and in the community. Our suite
of Outreach programs travel throughout British Columbia,
involving whole communities and accommodating a
diversity of learners, cultures and family interactions.
In 2007/2008, our mobile programs reached over 187,000
British Columbians.
Community Science Celebration
Entire communities are mobilized to celebrate and share the
wonders of science.
These week-long series of entertaining and engaging events are tailored
to promote the role of science and innovation in a host community.
Working with community partners in Campbell River, Castlegar,
Chemainus, Cranbrook, Dawson Creek and Terrace, we inspired over
11,000 students, families and community leaders to ‘discover the science
all around them’.
Thanks to sponsors, supporters, community partners
and the continued multi-year support from the Province
of British Columbia through the Ministry of Education
for the BC Program for the Awareness and Learning of
Science (BC PALS), geographic and financial barriers are
significantly reduced, making it possible for us to provide
equal access to all BC students.
From Fort Nelson to Lax Kw Alaams, no community was
too small or remote to be inspired by science.
Engaging Science
Elementary teachers jumpstart their science units with engaging
hands-on activities.
In partnership with the Vancouver Aquarium and the H.R. MacMillan
Space Centre, this program matches all three areas of BC’s science
curriculum: Life Science, Physical Science and Earth and Space Science.
This year, Engaging Science professional enrichment workshops, courses,
online games and resources shared our innovative, hands-on approach
to teaching science with over 1,200 teachers and student teachers
throughout the province.

Non-Competitive Science Fair Resources
Scientists & Innovators in the Schools
Elementary teachers are inspired to coordinate fun, hands-on
science fair projects, activities and events for their students.
K–12 students are inspired by local science professionals in the
comfort of their own classrooms.
This newly developed program includes a free downloadable Science Fair
Guide and a workshop for adults seeking support to coordinate science
fairs in their community. The non-competitive
ompetitive approach is especially
appealing to the K–7 age group and
d provides a fun environment for kids
to get turned on to science at an early
rly age.
This free program connects established scientists, engineers, technologists,
technicians and trades people with BC’s students and teachers to inspire
students to continue studies in math and science. In 2007/2008, Scientists
& Innovators in the Schools delivered presentations to over 82,000 K–12
students and teachers.

leaders and learn more about career opportunities in science, technology,
engineering and mathematics. In 2007/2008, over 1000 students had the
opportunity to network with over 173 science professionals throughout BC.
Inventing Our Future, a new approach to career programming for high
school students was piloted on February 12th, 2008 and included an
expansive career fair, take-home resources and linkages with leading
BC companies, educational institutions and associations.
September 2007 marked the beginning of the seventh year of this
fun-filled, after-school science enrichment program that inspired over
1,500 at-risk children. The program takes science engagement beyond the
after-school vulnerable time period and includes professional enrichment
activities for teachers, family science nights, family memberships to
Science World and Discovery Notebooks for sharing after-school fun with
the whole family.
Aberdeen Classroom
The Richmond community explores new science resources
at Aberdeen Centre.
Programs established in this satellite space include Sunday Science
open house activities for families, Preschool Curiosity Club programs
and hands-on school workshops.
Big Science for Little Hands
Fostering curiosity, imagination and a positive attitude towards
science in preschool-aged children is a priority for Science World.
